Someone wasn’t doing their job right 😂

Wish I could make an automated version of a swage

Outstanding!👏👍👍👍👍👍

Air gun pellets would be nice.🤔 I wonder if it would be possible to make this swaging dies with 3d printed parts, like from abs or petg plastic, becourse plain lead is soft 🤔

youse metrik a lot nicer

Great vid, I’m looking to get into swaging, this really helps show how everything fits together. Thank you!

Good Day For Shootin ! 👍 im still torn between PC mafia & Alox nation....😃

At least someone in the family has skills. Just kidding Jim

Never mind about kicking the tripod how about you just the focus my eyes a bug and out. But on a lighter note thank you for the video very informative. This is all becoming a lost art keep up the good work.

Were do you get or make your cores ? Thanks

very nice work

I just got a 10mm barrel for my G21, fired a few 40s in it, seems to work OK. Think I should switch to a 10mm extractor or keep the original?

That does a great job, thx for sharing

I call bullshit on the 800m

Machines ar toys for grown-ups! When we can work with them we feel like a litle boy playing with his toys

About how much on an investment would I be looking at to get into to produce projectiles in .25 Caliber or dimension of .250 at various weights?

Aren't wadcutters usually concave at the base and convex at the nose? How do you lube the ones you're making? Have you test fired these and what was the accuracy like?

O

Very nice! I love DIY ingenuity. Great job.

Im left handed and find this very difficult to use properly.

The pilot looks like its not long enough or tight enough. Try the K&M tool

Really cool video sir what BHN is you lead

Very instructive!

Thanks for these videos. I am in the process of making .25 Caliber wad cutters for some experiments on 25 acp wild cats. I had the dies done before I saw this video. Wish I has seen it sooner. I make my own dies. Quick question: I noticed that we can see two "bleed holes" on the die. It looks like there maybe three in total. Is that so? Are they indeed 1/8" diameter or is that just a rough diameter? I am using a Lee Classic Cast press and I use a pin to push out the finished bullet. By tapping it out with a hammer. I had to design the dies to have the bleed hole above the above the frame of the press in order to have an unrestricted spot for the lead to bleed out. I learned so much from watching your videos...thanks again. -Hans

How did you set the depth of the cutter to get exactly .011?

Are you able to go through and adjust how much the core loses in weight? I'm not new to reloading, nor casting, but I've never really been exposed into the world of swageing until yesterday.... when I was researching how to make precise and consistent 30 caliber bullets for .308, .30-06, and .338 Lapua. I believe that learning how to make my own cases, jackets, among other things will help my business significantly.

Unfortunately, the wheel weights didn't render down at all... It seems that they're mostly made of Zinc, and steel... Which is worthless to me, a Boolit Caster, and reloader...

how about a reamer, smooth out the inside where its important

Been a long time but we once inside neck reamed. Now I see mostly outside neck turning. I haven't reloaded since 1979 but I'm interested in all the new ideas applied to the craft. How do you deal with the resulting shoulder that could occur at the case neck where the cutter stops? Or is it an issue? This is where inside neck reaming would not leave any visible evidence of work performed. However...inside reaming was hard to keep aligned. Seems like we always had a few cases with uneven mouth walls. Outside seems to be the best way to go. We just didn't have that luxury that I knew of back in the seventies.

Very nice! Enjoy! Thumbs up from Ireland! :)

Merry Christmas Mr & Mrs Fleming.

You will love it. Sometimes it takes a little bit to get it to run smoothly (cleaning up the edges and feed holes) but it saves a TON of time. Mine works better with small primers that large.

Now that was a close call, and probably a good lesson learnt - thanks for sharing! :)

Whow, that's a great looking press, really sturdy!

Thanks folks.

I want to try it !

Where do you get your cores?

Neil, remember that all the stress and pressure is to the rear as the round fires. There is no stress whatsoever on the extractor except for the nanosecond that the firing pin is in contact with the primer. I know 2 people who use this combination regularly and have for 4 years that I know of. They have not replaces any parts or had any problems with their guns. However, I cannot say how many rounds either if them have shot. On of the guys took a class from me in the winter of 2010 and shot around 200 rounds during that session alone. In typical Glock fashion, he had no malfunctions during the class. The other guy used to work for me and made the switch from time to time just to save money on ammo.

with the case head spacing of the case mouth and obviously being a shorter case would this not put a lot of extra strain on the extractor as that is what would be holding the case for headspace? obviously it worked but I would expect some issues after a 100 or so rounds.

Interesting stuff. I recently got into bullet casting and this looks fun as well. Is the equipment for this expensive?

Still looks like fun. Were you using sped loaders, speed strip, single loading?

Great video Jim. Just about the time I think I have everything I need for reloading, I see something else to buy. lol

This is myself, shooting at 200 yards, with my Glock 22.

So that looks like Blackmon's press with some Corbin dies. I'd really like to know exactly all the components being used here. Please keep the videos up! They are very helpful.

lol, didn't know if you'd ever see that or not Jim... I just created me an account over here, well been bout 2 weeks ago I guess. Not figured everything out yet either, lol! Certainly not as easy to find folks, been trying to figure out the hole subscribe thing. Believe they need to add a friend request button on here, so it would make it a lot easier on me. ;-)

Brian, sorry man, I hadn't seen your comment for two years. I apologize sir. The cement mixer is NOT an unheard of idea.

We've all been searching for each other, Dewayne, nice to see you on here. But the point is, that we have all been working at finding each other to get'er done. Supporting the Second Amendment. Thanks for finding me.

Geez, Jim.... Who would have thought, you are just everywhere -huh? lol! See you have (or should I say had) plenty of .223 Remington brass, at one time... lol!
